To test if the Ricoma EM-1010 embroidery machine's head is functioning properly, follow these steps:

1. Check Thread Path – Ensure the thread follows the correct path from the thread cone to the needle.
2. Inspect Needles – Verify that the needles are not defective and are inserted properly.
3. Check Thread Tension – Ensure the tension is not too tight or too loose to prevent thread breaks or looping.
4. Examine Hook Timing – If thread breaks occur frequently on all needles, adjust the hook timing.
5. Verify Bobbin Installation – Ensure the bobbin is installed correctly and the supply is adequate.
6. Clean Bobbin Case – Remove any lint or dirt buildup from the bobbin case.
7. Check Thread Trimmer – Ensure the thread trimmer knife is fully retracted.
8. Perform a Manual Trim – If no thread break is apparent, manually trim the thread.
9. Rotate Degree Knob – Turn the degree knob at the back of the machine to 100 degrees and press the 100-degree button.

If issues persist, contact the dealer where the machine was purchased.
